THE U. Prs NEW MANAGER.
More Talk of Turning Over the
Main Line to the Government.

More Talk of Turning Over the
Main Line to the Government.
The selection of First Vice-President
Potter, of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railway, as vice-president and
general manager of the Union Pacific
Company created considerable talk
among railway officials yesterday. The
choice was in every way commended, and
opinion was expressed that Mr.. Potter
would be an aggressive manager of
the road and would, if permitted to fol-
low out his ideas, redeem the Union Pa
cific from the state into which it had
fallen during the last half dozen years.
The directors of the Union Pacific have
for long time been considering the step
which was taken on Saturday. The road
has, in measure, been permitted to run
itself, and there has been really no head
to it. The selection of Mr.. Potter
to fill a position which is by far
the most important in connection
with railway means, according to
well posted railway men, that the Union
Pacific will be worked as it should and
will in few years be the road that was
intended when the road was first pro-
jected. The branches of the main line
will be developed and extended to desira-
BILE points, and Mr.. Potter is looked to as
the man who is peculiarly fitted to under
take the tremendous task.
The lease of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company is the initial step
in most important railway scheme.
The Union Pacific now has direct
connection with the Coast, and can
extend their traffic to coast points
from which they have been barred for
many years. The appointment of
Mr.. Potter has, in a measure, given
coloring to the story sent out from Omaha
that the Union Pacific was going
to turn over the main line to the
Government. Some railway men say
that the surrendering of the main line is
in accordance with the new policy of the
Union Pacific directors, and that if the
project is carried out the road will be re-
organized and the branches be made the
main line.
Mr.. Potter will assume the manage
ment of the Union Pacific road on May
15th.-Denuer NelCS, 25th.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
The Celebration of the Sixty-Eighth
Anniversary Yesterday.

A large number of invited guests gath
cred at the Odd Fellows Hall on Main
street last evening, to enjoy the enter
tainment which had been previously an
nounced.
The evening opened with charming
piano duet, rendered by Professors
Krouse and Mcintyre. 1t was fitting
prelude to the charming programme, and
the audience attested its appreciation in
the loudest applause. Among the most
charming numbers may be noted the
solo of Miss Lawson, the cornet solo of
Mr.. Aldons, the singing of Miss Hawley
and the violin selections of Mr.. Weihe.
These last two artists always do big
share of the entertaining at any per-
Torrance, and last night was no excep-
ton. Miss Hawley rendered a sweet
something from 'Ruddygore' with tell
ing effect, and received rich reward of
applause. Mr.. Weihe played with his
usual feeling and taste. Mr.. John I.
Buckle, P. g., delivered a fine Grafton
which met with the general approval of
all present.
The entertainment was voted a tri--
umph by all who were fortunate enough
to enjoy it, and all will remember with
pleasure the 6Sth anniversary of the
foundation of the l. o. o. F.

General p. E. Connor will leave on

month. General Connor's name has been
favorably mentioned by many Republicans
and Democrats as the fusion candidate for
Mayor Of this city. If that Office should
fall to the Republicans by the allotment by
the committees of the two conventions. as
has been suggested by THE DEMOCRAT, we
know of no person of either party who
would more completely fill the bill, or who
would poll a larger vote than the courageous
old veteran who made Utah habitable by
Gentiles. Although a staunch Republican,
he is not a bigoted one, and his efforts
would be solely directed towards the gen.
eral interests Of the city.

WHO Is I,EPT7

We would like to ask our esteemed contem-
porary, the Sentinel, who is left to carry the
standard of unalloyed and Jeffersonian De-
mocracy in Indiana, in its coming struggles.
Cleveland, says the Sentinel, is fatally afflicted
with the heresy of civilservice reform, and
gives no meat to hungry, worthy, hard-work-
ing Democrats. Voorhees, and Mcdonald,
this paper teels u.s. were conspirators In an in
trigue to prevent the election of Governor
Gray to the United States Senate. Mr.. By
mum, as we learn from many of its editorials,
is utterly debased and wicked. The cowardly
souls of the Democratic judges Of the SUI
preme Court have been consigned to damna-
ton. The Indiana contingent at Washing
ton, comprising all the Democratic senatorial
and congressional representatives, are set OF
snobs and sycophants; while Governor Gray
has turned out worst of all, for he has fired
out the spotless Harrison and the diligent and
faithful Gapen, who have brought the In
sane Hospital up to the first rank in all the in
stitutions Of the kind in the civilized world ]"
Who among the faithful is left to lead the le-
gions of Democracy to victory7 Shall it be
the immaculate Coy, the just and upright
Bernhamer, or the savory Sullivan, or the
sanity Span, or the brilliant Bailey, or shall
we rather see in the the portly figure of
the noble Harrison himself Best of all, per-
haps, would be the virile form of Green Smith
leading his brothers to the fray with two

ing helmet. 1t would be interesting to know
what the Sentinel thinks in regard to the re-
spective availability of these distinguished

POPE LEO XIII has in several instances
shown more sympathy with progress and re-
form than is usually found in occupants of
the Vatican, but a current European rumor is
hardly credible. This is to the effect that the
Pope has taken under consideration the sub
iect of marriage for priests, and is favorably
disposed to it. Whether this would be a
reform or not, it would be radical change in
the policy and traditions of the Catholic
Church. Celibacy of the priesthood has been
a conspicuous feature of its government from
time immemorial, and its abolition would
mark new departure, at once interesting and
significant. If it be true that the Pope has
even taken the matter under consideration, it
is proof that he is far more liberal minded
and accessible to proposed reforms than many
of his predecessors have been.

not seen much of the country, but how about
his predecessors? Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe-none of them ever saw much of the
country even as it was in their day. Franklin
Pierce was more provincial than any of them.
James Buchanan was never west of Pennsyl-
vania. But it is not so much a question of
"seeing the country" as of knowing its his
tory, its people, its institutions, its neces-
sites and wants. Here is where Mr.. Cleve-
land is weak, and it is not clear how railroad
trip would help him much. BY the way, the
Republican errs in saying that no President
has ever visited the Pacific coast while in
Office. President Hayes made an extensive
Pacific coast trip while he was in Office.

DR.. McGLYNN says Mr. O'Brien is Gland
lord at heart" Very likely this is true. And
it would be equally true of any man DR.. Nc
Glynn could name, with the possible excep-
ton of Henry George and few other theo-
rists who find it profitable to preach against
ownership in land. Even if these men were
suddenly to come into possession of landed
estates there is reason to suspect that they
would not Immediately sell all they had and
give the proceeds to the poor. The desire to
have the exclusive control of portion of the
earth, however small, is implap ted in every
normally constituted human soul, and there
is no cause to believe that Mr. OBrien differs
from the rest of mankind in this respect.

THE custom of making presents by govern
ment employees to official superiors is so in
herently vicious, and so open to abuse, that
it was some time ago prohibited by act of
Congress. Under late Republican admins
trations, the custom, always more honored in
the breach than the observance, had become
extinct but it has now been revived in full
force, despite the law. Employees of the
Treasury complain that they have recently
been called upon to contribute to testimonials
to Secretary Manning, Treasurer Jordan and
two or three other officials. In the case of the
Assistant Register of the Treasury a valuable
present was made to the retiring official and
to the one who was promoted to succeed him,
requiring double levy on the clerks. This
is sample. in small way, of Jeffersonian
simplicity and Democratic reform.

The Song of the Shirk.

With fingers that never knew toll.
With nose-tip swollen and red.
A delegate sat in his easy chair,
Eating the laborers bread;
'tStrike-strike-Strike.
Nor dare return to your work.!
And still, with the staggering, insolent air,
He sang the Song of the Shirk.'
"Strike-strike-strike
Till the children crying for bread
Strike-strike-strike
Till the roof is torn from your head"
1t is Oh, to have king,
And dwell away over the sea,
Where Knights and bosses are still unknown,
If this is liberty!
Shirk-shirk-shirk,
The duty owe to man:
Shirk-shirk-shirkl
AS only delegate can.
Fine and assessments and due,
Due and assessment and fine,
Such is the stuff which delegates live,
And swagger, and drink, and dine.
''Strike-strike-strikei'
The delegate passed this way;
"'Strike-strike-styike
He orders-you must obeyi
And ask not the reason why,
Nor murmur against their decree,
For none must work when they say mo-"
In this country of the free.
OH men with children dear
Oh! men with daughters and wives,
It is not the rich you are starving out.
But your hungry children's lives.
Strike-strike-s trikei
To please your masters still.
Ye are slaves to a band of plundering knaves.
Who will bleed We as long as ye will.
k-shirk-shirk,
The duty you owe to man,

AS champions of their cause
Men who never were known to use
Anything save their jaws.
